Back in the USA

I am in Utah now visiting Mo and am literally overwhelmed by the news and images coming out of Haiti in a continuous horrific stream. The scale of the disaster is unimaginable.

My first priority once home in Philly will be to send a contribution to the relief effort. What else can all of us do to alleviate the suffering that Haiti is undergoing?

El,

Consider donating to "Partners in Health." That is the group started by Paul Farmer and Jim Kim-the docs of 'Mountains beyond Mountains" by Tracy Kidder. They have a still functioning infrastructure, a deep and constant commitment to Haiti and are part of the local culture and support. I'll forward a recent update from Ophelia Dahl (their Exec. Director) to you. I've made a donation to them, knowing that the $ will quickly and effectively be put to use.
